I saw the Circle Jerks reunion, and they are still rad. Hopefully they will be touring. I have not seen the re-formed Misfits with Dez yet.

I'm one of those Punk Rock kids talked about up there at 16 years old and stuck in Louisiana and yea I have to say it's a disgusting thing what they call punk now, all this slow unenergetic practically polka bullshit now, and all the new wavers wearing eye liner and womens clothing all do that "hardcore dancing" crap just beating the fuck out of each other, it's really sad, and the worst part of it is that the true followers of punk today really don't have much to look forward to, i mean where's our bad brains? fuckin my chemical shit pants surely can't suffice, everyone there's so obsessed with feeling sorry for themselves and self mutilation it seems like such a drag to try and follow, sure Bad Religion still tours and Jello does spoken word but it's so depressing to see them like that, not really in their prime just about to teeter out, i mean for gods sake Jello Biafra once one of the most energetic stage performers i've ever seen, is now doing...spoken...word...performances, don't get me wrong while they do seem really informative,that's just not the Jello the people deserve to see. It's just too unfair that the true fans of today can't really see a good Misfits show, or a Circle Jerks or Subhumans, we're stuck in this bullshit over-artsy generation.

Liberace had BETTER be a good frontman. He is currently standing in for Jello Biafra as lead singer for the Dead Kennedys.

Oh, I forgot the smell part. By the way, it was so sweaty the entire room smelled exactly like chili dogs.

By the way, Miss E. tells it like she smells it. They were even trying to "mosh" at Zolar X at the Knitting Factory....ZOLAR X! But the only one who looked like she was gonna punch someone in the head was...me. When some drunk girl kept body slamming too close to me. I withered her with a scary old lady stare instead. By the way, if you want another surreal moment, I suggest seeing Yggarr Yggarr and the Plutonian elves of said band, when next they play there. Don Bolles usually sits in on drums. See! a kind of comment.

Argh. There is not supposed to be punching in slam-dancing.
